Through the Booker-shortlisted-author of The Essence of the Thing comes a great novel, a lost Australian classic. Compiled by an excellent novelist of modern-day manners, The Women in Black is a fairy tale which illuminates the extraordinariness of ordinary lives. The ladies in black are elope their feet, what with the Christmas rush and the summertime sales that follow. But it's Sydney in the 1950s, and there's still sufficient time left on a hot and frantic day to dream and scheme... By the time the last marked-down frock has been sold, the majority of the staff of the Ladies' Cocktail section at F. G. Goode's have been launched into slightly different careers. Together with the lightest touch and the most tender of comic instincts, Madeleine St. John conjures a vanished summer of innocence.
